“Huh!”

"It's okay! Things are a little smoother than I thought!"

"To be honest, you may not believe Shepard... I have thought several times that I might as well step down as a member of the Council and return to our Star Alliance Navy... If I hadn't felt that I might help you in this position, I think I would have done that... My old age shouldn't have been here, wasted in vain in the false condemnation of these politicians and the endless political and diplomatic gatherings!"

Finally, after Shepard told his request and the members of the three tribes of the Divine Castle Council also nodded in agreement and closed the holographic projection and left, Anderson breathed a sigh of relief as if he was relieved.

In any case, at least he, a human council member, is not too incompetent. At least he has helped Shepard a little and won the best interests for the other party!

Of course, although there must be a large part of this reason for the result that Shepard's efforts made the three tribes of the Castle Council ow her too much favor, but now, through his Anderson's efforts, the members of the three tribes just now agreed not to pursue Shepard's work for Cerberus, nor would they detain the Normandy II ship, and it also rarely provided a lot of convenience. This is the best result.

"Shepard, I'm sorry, this time I didn't seem to have helped much besides restoring your position..."

"You have to know that in fact, I, a member of the Council of God's Castle, is just a symbolic job. It is not as glamorous and useful as you think. In fact... neither them nor me, most of the time, will not do too many substantive things."

After walking slowly for two steps, Anderson turned over with a wry smile, looking at the upright and heroic female warrior standing in the middle of the huge office. In Anderson's opinion, the current castle council is actually similar to the original United Nations on Earth more than a hundred years ago, and we cannot expect it to do too many practical things.

"No, Chief Anderson!"

"You don't need to mind too much. Although they did not agree to help investigate, at least they did not hinder me and restored my identity. This is great. I can now safely perform my mission!"

“Before the Reaper is coming, there is always someone who needs to come up and do something, right?”

Unlike the slightest regret of General Anderson, Shepard was actually quite satisfied with the results of the negotiation just now. At least, her current identity as the "Ghost of the Gods" has been restored. The Council in principle recognized her identity and would not block her investigation. This is actually very good, especially the identity of the "Ghost of the Gods" is of great use to her next work!

After all, before she continued to investigate the collectors and those harvesters, she still needed to run around the galaxy to recruit the Cerberus Phantom Man to her elite list. If she had the identity of a ghost of the god castle, her work would definitely be much more convenient and would definitely save a lot of trouble.

"Don't worry."

"You don't have to worry about these things in the future. Do your mission with peace of mind, whether it is our Star Alliance or the Godcastle Council... I will definitely continue to deal with you and ensure that they will not interfere with any of your actions!"

Anderson is really willing to believe about the Reaper, so he is willing to provide Shepard with as much help as possible!

Now, the entire Milky Way countries, even the top leaders of the God Castle, are unwilling to believe in the existence of those harvesters, and are even more unwilling to believe in the fact that there is a 50,000-year cycle of reincarnation. This is actually a very terrible thing!

Whenever I think of the Prosol beacons and ruins they can find everywhere in the Milky Way, and the mass effect repeaters that spread throughout the Milky Way, Anderson feels chilling and panic...

Think about the technologies of the Prosol Immortals. They are so developed that they are even far beyond the tribes of the current Divine Castle Council... Then how did they destroy them?

Also, what is the "50,000 Years" mentioned in the residual information? What's even more terrifying is... who invented and placed the mass effect repeaters that are almost all over the Milky Way? Why are they all maintained by the strange and weird eight-legged biochemical robots in the maintenance of the Godcastle Space Station?

These many things combined together point to the facts about the "reaper" and the "reincarnation in 50,000 years" that Shepard has repeatedly proposed! Unfortunately, both the God Castle Council and their human star couplet stubbornly believe that what Shepard said is all imaginary nonsense!

They still stubbornly believe that those "reapers" do not exist at all! They also believe that... the repeaters and the castle are just things left over from the Prosol, and the reason why they perished was just some terrible disaster.

To this day, even after the castle was attacked, even after the collectors began to become active, no one with a clear mind and the ability to change the status quo is willing to believe in the existence of those "reapers"... This makes Anderson feel that it is a terrible thing in itself!

"Of course, the premise is that you can only 'moving' within the Realm God Galaxy?!"

Shepard can cause a super event every time he "activates", and the other party is still working for Cerberus now, so this may be what Anderson guessed, Star Alliance and the God Castle don't want to see?

Think about it, too... Shepard is obviously one of their super heroes, who saved the god castle, and even saved the entire galaxy. But now, after being resurrected, he went to mingle with a group of terrorists and jumped up and down all day long. How did they explain this to the outside world?

"Of course, I will."

"But I may have to recruit a group of team members first. The task may be very difficult. I may not be able to complete it alone, but I promise: it will definitely not take too much time!"

The collector is active in the Realm God Galaxy, and Shepard must also go to the Realm God Galaxy to investigate!

Also, she was going to raid the collector's nests, destroy them or find solid evidence of their connection with the harvester! And this is her next job, and she would do her best without the Council pointing fingers.

No one knows when the Reapers will come. Since all the colonies on the outer edge of the Milky Way have been plundered by unknown races, and even all the humans in the colonies have disappeared without a trace, this situation has shown that the reapers are getting faster and faster, and those collectors who act as pioneers have also become active!

Therefore, her time is very tight now. According to the original plan, at the latest tomorrow, her Normandy 2 will set off from the Castle Space Station and embark on their one-way journey that they may never return!

"If I need help, just say it! If it is a man, I know that there are many good 'n7' players in the Navy of Star Alliance, maybe..."

Thinking that Shepard was short of people, Anderson quickly kindly recommended the human ‘n7’ to the other party.

He is not only a member of the Council of the Godcastle Council, but also an admiral of the Star Alliance Navy. If Shepard really needs it, it will be fine to get the other party a dozen or twenty N7s! After all, the World God Galaxy that the other party is now investigating is their human colony. Although the other party’s ship belongs to Cerberus, it is at least considered to be working for humans. Therefore, it is obviously reasonable and legal to use his position to allocate several N7 special forces to the other party that were ‘retired’ early.

"No need...well?"

Before Shepard could say something to refuse, at this time, the door of Anderson's office was suddenly opened from outside, and a middle-aged man in short-haired clothes walked in quickly with a angrily whispered.

"Anderson!"

"I think we need to have a good talk...wait, are you Shepard? Why are you here?!"

Udina looked at the woman standing in the middle of the office in disbelief. The other party was wearing a full set of black matte combat n7 armor, and only the head that made him feel extremely familiar was exposed... Yes, red hair and that familiar face, the other party was Shepard undoubtedly!

Originally, Udina had heard the message that the other party was resurrected and returned, but he didn't care or believe it, and he thought it was just a rumor? But now... Shepard, who had seen the photos of the dead body, actually stood in front of him again. What's going on?!

"Ha! Hello, Udina, wasn't it a surprise?"

"Don't worry, I'm not here to trouble you, I'm just here to check out my old commander, General Anderson."

After looking at Udina's shocked face with interest, Shepard greeted the other party with a teasing smile. She didn't like this Udina politician, and the other party didn't like her either! Maybe the other party felt that she was too close to Anderson and was standing in the wrong position?

ha!

It must be true. These politicians, who don’t want to do anything serious all day long, know that they play with those evil politics. Whether it is her, Shepard or Anderson, they obviously can’t get together with such people.

"Okay, Shepard!"

"Udina, you don't have to guess randomly... That's right, it's what you thought: I invited Shepard to come here today to meet with the members of the Council! And, we had already ended the conversation just now, before you came, and as for the result... we were all very satisfied with each other anyway!"

To Shepard's surprise, Anderson completely ignored Udina's feelings, and did not continue to follow the steps and covers that Shepard gave him, but instead said frankly and directly what they were doing just now.

This is true. Apart from Shepard's reinstatement of the ghost position and receiving a lot of privileges, weapons and financial support, there is nothing that must be informed or avoided by Udina.

"What, you met with the Council Members?!"

"Anderson... I remember that the Star Alliance Council should have told you: When I am not present, try to contact the politicians of the Council as little as possible. Have you forgotten? Do you know that this may cause serious consequences! You, as an admiral, do not understand the system of the Divine Castle bureaucrats at all, and you may be slandered by those guys!"

Udina was a little angry. He just learned that Anderson had a meeting with the board of directors behind his back. The content and topics were unknown, and then he rushed here as if he was.

But how could he have thought that when he got here, the meeting was over? Also, Shepard, the other party, actually came back, and was still here, and at this time, he directly had a secret conversation with the people in the board of directors?!

"I have just been restored to the identity of the 'Ghost of God'. The Council allows me to use some resources to investigate the World God Galaxy! So, Udina, you don't have to be so nervous. This is actually what happened today!"

"besides……"

Boom! Boom!

Just when Shepard wanted to explain something, outside Anderson's office, bursts of explosions suddenly came faintly, but because the atmosphere here is very low, when the sound waves come, there is a strange feeling of being compressed?

“That’s…”

When she turned her head in shock and looked into the distance from the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the five huge cities in the bay area like a fan blade, she found that a black smoke suddenly rose into the air in the middle and rear of one of the bay areas... Then, after the smoke rose a few meters, it was restrained by the dense and colorless sulfur hexafluoride gas film and could no longer rise. It spread in a low place and enveloped a very large area!

"This...what is going on? The castle was attacked by the enemy again...who is it?!"

Shepard subconsciously thought: It must be the harvesters who are coming again!

Because no race dares to attack the God Fort crazy, and only those powerful reapers can directly break through the defense of the God Fort and make the God Fort attack directly here if they can't even send out an alarm! If that's the case, things will become troublesome now... It is very likely that their Milky Way will repeat the fate of those tragic Prosol immortals in the previous cycle this time, and all the advanced organic civilizations will be harvested and destroyed, and there is no other possibility!

“…”

Udina also looked at the scene outside the window in a daze. It seemed that he had never expected such a vicious incident to happen in the Salen incident in the Salon Castle!

"Hello?"

"The security room, what's going on now? What's going on with the explosion outside? Is there an enemy attacking the castle?!"

Anderson did not care about Shepard's exclamation and the somewhat panicked consultant Udina next to him, but walked directly to his desk, pressed a holographic button to call the security guard room, and began to call his guard room urgently.

The castle was attacked by the enemy and directly penetrated into the inner guard zone. This matter was really a bit terrifying, and Anderson couldn't help but not nervous.

"Sir!"

"According to the shared information I just got here, it seems that the poor people on the 'foundation' rebellion... But don't worry, the provision just sent by c-sec shows that they have the ability and confidence to maintain the security of the castle, so that citizens and ambassadors should not be too worried?"

Soon, in the holographic projection, although the human soldier wearing the Star Alliance naval uniform was a little uneasy and frightened, he still checked his terminal data immediately and read out all the information he knew loudly.

Just now, they thought the castle was attacked by some powerful enemies or overlords. Councillor Anderson and adviser Udina, who were preparing to cover humanity, made an emergency retreat! But how could they have thought that it was the guys living in the slums living in the "foundation" that rebelled and made such a big noise?

Rumble...

However, as soon as the soldiers in the security room finished speaking, bursts of explosions continued to be heard from a distance and the rolling black smoke coming out of the cracks in the floor armor that had not been completely exploded... Obviously, the statement that c-sec said that they could stabilize the situation did not seem so accurate?

"The poor rebellion in the foundation?"

"What a joke? Humph! This is not like a common rebellion at all!"

"Anderson, I remember very clearly... I have also seen the rough design of the God Castle. If the people from the base really rebelled, they shouldn't be able to blow up the floor guardrails on the inner wall of the guard zone to form such a thing, right?"

At this time, Shepard, who had just recovered his position as "Ghost of Gods", unceremoniously called out the holographic image of the explosion point on the universal tool with his authority!

Then she exclaimed directly!

It turned out that in the holographic image she called out, the floor with fire and smoke was emitting a big gap, like the mouth of a monster of some kind... Although it did not seem to cause personnel losses or too much damage, it is definitely not as simple as the so-called ordinary riots that can blow the tough guardrails into that shape!

Anyway, Shepard instinctively felt that something big would happen to the Castle now! Perhaps it was still related to some of the Reapers' conspiracies, or was it simply the Reapers' accomplices who planned all this?!

"Is that power... a weapon against a ship?"

Anderson, who turned to see, also frowned tightly. He had just thought about reviewing the videos on the scene! But since Shepard had started to check, he did not do anything. He just took two steps forward and frowned at the two explosion scenes that Shepard was looking at.

He was a soldier and was also a general of the Star Alliance. He was very clear about the power, performance and defense capabilities of various weapons! Therefore, of course, he soon realized the seriousness of the matter from the current situation.

"Sir!"

"According to the information just fed back, most of the foundations under the ground of the Third Guard District have fallen! The rebels have occupied almost the entire underground world of the Third Guard District, and all the special police of c-sec have retreated to the 'ground' of the Defense District!"

"The report also said... it was the rebels who actually used powerful small nuclear grenades?!"

While Anderson was staring at the holographic image that Shepard brought out to check, behind him, the image of the human security soldier in the security room exclaimed again.

Obviously, he was also scared!

This rebellion was very unusual. I don’t know what the rebels were from, but they even got small nuclear weapons... No wonder, no wonder they were able to deform the ground of the streets in the distant Third Guard District and emit black smoke. I guess the situation inside the "foundation" must be even worse?

Fortunately, there are professional "caremen" from the castle. As long as the attack on the castle space station is not immediately blown up, those guards will definitely be able to repair it slowly, and there is no need for the dead fire brigade of the castle official to worry about it.
To be continued...
